Brendan Vidito

The end of the world demands a new form of pornography... From Brendan Vidito, the Wonderland-Award-winning author of Nightmares in Ecstasy, comes nine tales of apocalyptic body horror. A young man is initiated into a cult that worships sickness and disease. Survivors of a nuclear holocaust make a pilgrimage to the last movie theater in existence. Premonitions of disaster haunt a loving couple doomed to watch each other die. Each story pulsates with Vidito's characteristic dark humor, atmospheric tension, and visceral prose. This is pornography for the devotee of horror, the morbidly curious-pornography for the end of the world.

Pornography for the End of the World

Sam Richard

Videodrome. Scanners. The Brood. Crash. The Fly. The films of David Cronenberg have haunted and inspired generations. His name has become synonymous with the body horror subgenre and the term "Cronenbergian" has been used to describe the stark, grotesque, and elusive quality of his work. These eighteen stories bring his themes and ideas into the present, throbbing with unnatural life.A yoga group brings transcendence and bodily transformation. A woman undergoing Gender Confirmation Surgery is subjected to outlandish techniques. A young man discovers the reality-warping potential of a bootleg horror VHS. A mother comes to terms with the monstrous appetites of her newborn child.Being terrified is just the beginning.Become one with us and take a deep, penetrating dive into the plasma pool¿This is THE NEW FLESH."Fetish technology. Pleasure technology. Sinister technology. Incomprehensible technology. Inhuman technology. Technology plus velocity, velocity plus death, death plus technology." - From the Introduction by the legendary Kathe Koja, author of The Cipher, Skin, and Under the Poppy.

It makes me nostalgic" - Wrath James White "This is an old school handmade hardcore horror fiction zine... I liked it a lot." - Mark Sieber, Horror Drive-In "Bantry is providing a great time for fans of horror fiction.

This is exactly how underground horror fiction should be, unfettered, uncompromising and deliciously nasty. Horror has a new voice." - Mass Movement "Sometimes you stumble across something and you want to tell the world about it. It happens I've found something I'd like to share, something joyous, yet unsettling, amateur, yet smart. I'm talking about Splatterpunk Zine." - Snakebite Horror

Splatterpunk's Not Dead!

Nightmares in Ecstasy is a collection of thirteen stories of surreal body horror. Within its pages, the line between eroticism and terror, desire and death, is blurred. Damaged souls hurtle, as if in a dream, toward mutilation, transformation and fates worse than death. It is literary hardcore fiction for fans of David Cronenberg, Junji Ito, and Clive Barker. "Surreal, grotesque, erotic. Brendan Vidito is a unique and disturbing new voice." -Wrath James White, author of If You Died Tomorrow I Would Eat Your Corpse "Brendan Vidito is the bastard son of Clive Barker and his fresh take on body horror will f**k you up." -Jack Bantry, creator of Splatterpunk Zine & author of The Lucky Ones Died First "Vidito's words squirt shocking psychosexual bug juice into your brain's most private parts." -John Skipp, author of The Light at the End
